THE PROPOSAL to shift to K+10+2 vindicates criticisms against the K to 12 program, Kabataan Party-list Rep. Raoul Manuel said on Thursday.

“Mula po sa panig ng kabataan, naniniwala kami noong simula pa lang na di dapat pinatupad ang K+12 program. Ngayong isang dekada na nakalipas, matapos ang milyong mga kabataang nabiktima at namodus sa mga pangako nito, saka lang aamin ang mga opisyal natin na di ito nakatulong paunlarin ang sistema ng edukasyon ng bansa,” Manuel said.

He added that schools should not be turned into diploma mills to produce semi-skilled, export-ready but ill-prepared laborers.

“Pero habang nag-concede ang pamahalaan na pumalpak ang K+12, mas malaking insulto na more of the same lang ang panukalang reporma. Parang di tayo natututo,” he added.

Manuel said the education system should be transformed to take into account the needs of the students and the country.

“Gawa-gawa lang ang K+10+2 para magmukhang may pakialam sa pangangailangan ng mga estudyante sa Pilipinas. It does nothing to realign the bias of our educational system from the interests of big businesses back to our students,” he said.
